A workshop on gender sensitization was organized for classes 9 and 10 on 12 October 2018.It was an initiative of the Social Welfare Ministry, which had launched a campaign on mental health called Maansikta. The speaker for the same was Mr. Anuj Sharma. He addressed topics which were very much relevant and helped students to gain a better perspective on gender and its meaning. The main issues discussed were ‘what is gender?’, ‘what differentiates people from one another?’ and how we can battle gender stereotypes. The session was extremely interactive and by the end of it, students came to know about stereotypes they may have formed, even without realizing it.
